How to include version information into the setup output filename?

Question

I have an application with version information which I would like to include into the setup output filename. For instance if the application have version 3.10.1 I would like to get setup_3.10.1.exe output file instead of a default setup.exe as an output file generated by Inno Setup.

Is it possible to include version information of a certain application into the setup output filename ?

Use the OutputBaseFilename directive and assign to its value result of the GetFileVersion preprocessor function:

#define AppVer GetFileVersion('MyApp.exe')

[Setup]
OutputBaseFilename=setup_{#AppVer}
...

This didn't work for me. It seems only absolute path works. I'll keep looking. – Victor Zakharov Nov 06 '17 at 01:50

@Neolisk Relative-path (to the ISS script location!) works just as well as absolute-path. – itsho Nov 27 '20 at 11:20
